What if he doesn't even have any job?
What if he's found somebody else?
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
I think Mikey cheated on me,
'cause I was always working nights.
It's not his fault.
It was probably that waitress
at Dodo's Diner. The blond?
She always looks at him funny
when she brings him his cheese melt.
Hi, Mikey.
[ Laughs, Scoffs ]
She makes me sick,
she's so sweet.
So sweet. Like the devil
in devil's food cake.
She just-- She makes me wanna puke.
She makes me wanna vomit.
It's okay, Carla.
It's okay.

No more time for losers, Carla.

So, keep your cameras ready,'cause here we go.[ Siren Wailing ]Oh, look at that.

You've been great.
You've been real.
Thank you.
Thanks.
You know,
it's hard to meet a guy
in this town,
let alone in Nazareth.
Hey, Carla, I feel sorry
for Mary Magdalene.
Oh, why is that, Connie?
Oh, you know, she fınally
decides to mend her ways,
going the straight path,
and she falls for this guy--
33 years old,
still living at home with his mother,
who's never gonna accept a shiksa
with a past for a daughter-in-law.
[ All Laughing ]
God, I love it.
I feel like I can fınally
say what I think.
I know. When we were doing
the show in Chicago, and you would say,
you know, dirty stuff,
I could feel the audience going,
''Oh, no. Don't do that.
Where's my dessert?''
But now, dressed like a guy--
We can say anything we want.
[ Connie ]But with L.A. men, the bulgein their pants is a cell phone.
All right, that's it.
I have not seen you
laugh once tonight.
Can you not seehow fabulous we are?
- I love the show.
- Mary, that is scary.
Your face doesn't move
when you talk.
Oh, Botox.
Cow poison?
[ Gasps ]Oh, no.
How many of you
deaden your wrinkles
with that crap?
Hmm. Four, huh?[ Man Laughing ]Five?
Oh, come on. Be honest!
[ Laughter]
[ Connie ]Yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Boys and girls, God put us on
this earth to have a laugh,
hence the term ''laugh lines.''
[ Exaggerated Laugh ]
That's what it looks like.
Do yourselves a favor,
let your eyes crinkle,
let your skin wrinkle.
Our lines show that we've lived.
If he doesn't love you
when you look like a map,
tell him to hit the road.
Hey, good one.
Whatcha got there, Carla?
Well, Connie, I do believe it's time
for South Pacifıc sing-along!
[ Cheering ]
There you go.
Get it around your neck.
Come on, people.Get 'em on. There you go.
They're so much fun.
Wish I had the nerve
to sing live.
I wish I had the nerve
to be that good.
We are such idiots.
Don't be mean to us.
Just because
you look fat in white.
I do-- Look at how busy
we're getting. Are you guys
thinking what I'm thinking?
- No more spandex?
- No, sweetie.
Well, then what, honey?
If you can't lick 'em,
join 'em.
- Who's getting licked?
- [ Piano ]
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
And send him on his way
I'm gonna wave that man
right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man
right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man
right outta my arms
And send him on his way
We are geniuses.
[ Cheering, Whistling ]
Do you know
where the scissors are?
I think they're in the kitchen
in the third drawer.
Okay.
[ Knocking ]
I spy your little eye.
It's the bartender
from downstairs.
Hello?[ Carla ]Gimme that.
I can hear you.
Put that on. Put it on.
What's going on in there?
You can't say hi?
The guacamole.

- Sorry? What was that?

Look. There are very few
paying drag gigs in this town.
And I have to bartend at The Handlebar,and frankly, it's beneath me.
So, here it is.
Have you ever thought about
adding a few fabulous friends
to your show?
If you need some great new choreography,I know some fabulous new dance steps.
I'm great with wigs.
I can sew a dress
in three hours.
I'll lend you my jewels.
Call us.We could use the buck.
We'll give it some thought.
Yea! Bye.
Great! Excellent.
Come on,you guys.Let's go clean our apartment.For your brother.
You invited him over?
Are you drunk?
A little.
You know, Robert left home
when he was just 1 6.
Brian.
Well, I'm glad I don't have
a straight brother.
Now, now, we mustn't be prejudice.
Straights are people too.

[ Both Scream ]
Don't tell me not to live
just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's
a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed
to rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want
I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell
will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gunshot, and bam
Hey, Mr. Arnstein
Here I am
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
at least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me, love
'cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march
my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my
Parade
[ Cheering ]
Oh, shush.Oh, all right.
Enough already.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
[ TV.Ballroom ]

I mean, you know,
under the lights,
these could be great.
Especially on turns.
Whoo!

- Yeah.
- Oh.
- Aw.
- What?
- It's just-- It's great
to see you happy.
Come on, admit it.You do love the show.
Yeah, it's a drag.
Pun intended.
Hey, my plan worked.
Yeah. I'm kinda worried
about how well-known
we're getting.
- Only in West Hollywood.
- But I miss--
- Don't say Mikey.
- Boys. I miss boys
who like to kiss girls.
Forget it, okay.
Because we have no time for losers,
and we can't blow our cover.
Are you there?
Oh, I lost you.
Oh, now I hear you.
Oh, now I lost you.
- Robert,you all right?- Oh,yeah, sure.
I'm just going to meet my brother
for the fırst time in 1 06 years.
Did you have a fıght?
No.
Look.
I haven't had any contact
with my family in a long time.
My choice.
Six months ago, I get
a little sentimental watching TV--
Hallmark commercials.
So I send my grandmaa birthday card,
with my return
address label on it.
So then my brotherstarts coming around.
Starts leaving me messages,
''Hey, let's be brothers again.''
- You don't want a brother?
- [ Scoffs ]
He's just gonna hate me.
No, he won't.
Does he know
you dress with style?
Yeah, I told him on the phone.
I fıgured I'd go
without the ball gown,
just to ease him into things.
Let me see.
There you go.
Blue's your best color.
Thanks, sweetie.

to hang out.
Why?
Why not?
Why?
Why not?
Grow up.
You grow up.
You grow up.
Make me.
Well, at least do
some shopping yourself.
Please?
- Mom likes irises too.
- Save it for Dr. Phil.
- Okay.
- Hi, Mrs. Phillips.
Hi, Mrs. Phillips.
Hello.
Robert, I thought it'd be nice
to spend a beautiful Saturday--
Jeff, why the sudden interest
in me after all this time?
Well, for a long time,
I couldn't fınd you, remember?
And, uh, I think I'm gonna
marry someone.
And if that's gonna happen,
I want you to be there.
Oh.
Come on.
I need cheese.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah.
[ Cell Phone Beeping ]
Oh. That's my girlfriend.
Oh, no, take it.
I'll see if they're home.
[ Knocking ]
Bonjour, mes fılles.
C'est moi. Hello?
Sorry, sorry.
Ouvrir la porte.
[ Knocking ]
Here's your hair.
No, no, I got it.
Take it with you.
Get a robe. Get a robe.
That's yours.
I hear running.
How you doing?
What's going on?
Wow. Good look.
[ Chuckles ]
Whoa.
So, uh, how's it going
with your brother?
Jeff.
I'll call you later.
Jeff, these are my girlfriends,
the Connie and Carla.
Hi,Jeff.
Welcome to the dollhouse.
Want me to condition your hair?
No, I-I ran a cream rinse
through it this morning,
so I'm good.
So, I'll take a rain check.
[ Clicks Tongue ]
Uh, you all work
at The Handlebar too?
Oh, yeah,
we all work there.
Work? Jeff, these broads
have transformed that dive
into a legit cabaret.
- I wish I was in that show. Hint.
- All right.
Hint.
We heard you.
Hint.
Back off.
All right, get outta my way.
Get outta my way.
Let's get outta here.
Oh! Hello.
Hi, I'm Brian.
This is Paul and Lee.
I'm Robert's best ''briend.''
His what?
Best friend.
He's also my roommate.
Come see my apartment.
No, ours.
Down, girls, down.
Down, down, down.
Are you hungry?Do you like fısh sticks?
I'll make them Filipino style.
They taste just like chicken.
Oh, my God.
I like him.
I saw him before
when we were still girls.
He was standing out front.
We had this moment, Carla.
- He was nice to me.
- What are you talking about?
Right. Why would he ever
be attracted to me?
I'm a drag queen.
- No, you can't blow our cover
for some guy.
- Oh, yeah, I know.
I know.
I know.
[ Exasperated Sigh ]
Thanks.
Have a good show tonight.
Stanley, we want to add
some friends to the act.
You've gotta get a food license
and expand this place.
Here's my plan:
We're adding more leg,
you gotta add some legroom.
- Uh, what would that cost?
- I'll add up some fıgures. What--
Excuse me.
I'll be backstage.
What are you doing?
What?
This show is our destiny
waiting to happen--
dinner theater.
We can't expand the show.
We'll get more well-known,
and then word will travel
straight to those killers.
They're not looking for
a couple of drag queens.
How do you know? They're serious.
They have a lot of connections.
They haven't found us.
They're not connected
to this world.
We're safe.
We're drag queens. Whoo!
You're a freak.
Yeah, and you're a freak
with me.
You coax the bluesright out of the horn, Mame[ Tibor ] No. No. Yes. Rudy, I tell you.You charm the huskright off of the cornI have seen almosteverything on Broadway.They're not in it.
I saw Gypsy last night.
They're not there.
I saw Rent,
which was surprising,
to be so poignant
with a narrative,
added to by emotional performances
which bring the audience into the story.
Like--
Intimate story?
Intimate story!
I got an intimate story.
I'm gonna kill you if you don't--
Okay, okay, okay.
I have good news.
I got a ticket
to the matinee of Hairspray.

- No.
- Patty Pooper.
- No.
Great. Can we all
please dance now?
What's this?
Why do you wear a bra
during the day?
Well, if you must know,
being in drag helps us
practice our moves.
Hmm. Good falsies.
What do you use?
None of your beeswax.
Yeah, they're really good.
You should all have a feel.
Supple. Good.
Well, they are good.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Back to work.
Okay then.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.No way. Put it back.Uh-uh. No, whoa.
I don't have this kind of money.
Stanley.
Here's my plan.
You only have to do
80% capacity,
and you'll make your money back
within three months.
All you gotta pay out now
is the construction.
I got it all under control.
Sir, hi. We've talked about this.
Yeah, the tables have to be this high.
Right? Right. Why?
Stanley, look at me.
I'm eating my surf and turf.
Oh, watching a terrifıc show.
Eating, watching.
Dinner, theater.
See? Dinner theater.
Where do you think
the whole TV dinner thing
came from?
Right, Carla?
Uh, yeah, this high.
Stanley? Come on.
[ All ]

Hmm?
I'll get a loan
from my mother.

That's okay, doll.
I'm Connie.
I met you.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I'm here to take
Robert out for lunch.
-Just, you know--
- That's nice.
Well, he's my brother, so--
Take him out--
Take him out to lunch.
Well, you're nice.
Well, you're--you're nice too,
you know. Uh--
I mean, uh--
- You know, uh--
- Hello!
I'll be right down.
What?
Ayayay.
I have to go to the showafter lunch, so I dressed.
Is there a problem,Jeff?
- You wanna cancel?
- No. No, no, no.
- I'll be right down.
- Oh, boy.
Take him to the Tube
around the corner.
The owner's one of us.
People won't stare as much.
Thank you.
Sure.
You like my garbage?
Um, uh, a little bit.
Anything good in there?
Hey, sweetie.
- Robert.
- Nails.

- Yeah. Padding.
Oh.

- Robert's out having a manicure.
- Oh.
Mm-hmm. Here.
Wanna come over?
What?
No, no, no, no.
I have something--
I have a-a--
[ Clears Throat ]
You know, I got a prior commitment.
No problem.
[ Relieved Sigh ]
Um, you know the other day
when I said that you were nice?
I-I meant it.
You are-- You are very nice.
I just-- I just meant it, um,
a friendly way,you know?
I'm-I'm not gay.
Neither am I.
What?
Nothing. It's complicated.
I bet.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
All right.
See ya.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, do straight guys
drink coffee?
- What do you do for a living?
- How long have you been a drag queen?
Sorry.
I'm sorry. I just--
I've never known...
a cross-dressing person before, so--
- You know your brother.
- Oh, yeah. Well, no.
It's been a long time.
- Yeah. It's hard.
- It's hard, but I'm a bit of an optimist.
Me too.
I-I'm stubborn, you know?
I don't give up.
You know, I wasn't always
in a successful show.
And I had--I had this friend.
He told me to give up.
He called me a dreamer.
- That's not very nice.
- Yeah.
I know.
- I gotta go.
- Okay.
I just wanna know why you do it.
Why-Why you like to dress up? You guys.
Oh.
I'm sorry, that's personal.
No, that's okay.
It's-- It's kind of like this.
It's like dressing how you feel inside.
You know?
You know what,Jeff?
I haven't known your brother
for very long, but I think--
I mean, I think, he's happy.
We've only got one life.
It's just a little strange that
my brother's out getting
a manicure right now.
What, haven't you
ever had one?
[ Laughing ] God, no.
Well, you live in L.A.
Everybody gets their backs waxed
and things plucked and--
I don't pluck.
I-I've never been plucked.
[ Stammering ]
And-And I don't do manicures.
Relax your hand.
I'm relaxed.
Wait-- Look at it.
It's like a claw.
- Okay, I'm relaxed.
- Open.
No polish though.
Deal.
- And?
- Nothing.
Oh, come on. Spill it.
- All right, but only 'cause
we're talking guy to guy.
- Right.
- I've been seeing this woman.
- You got a girlfriend?
Oh, no. I'm gonna propose.
I mean, we're at that stage where
I should make a commitment.
But, uh, I'm not really sure
if we're right for one another.
I mean, she doesn't make me laugh.
Oh, you gotta get out.
You gotta pull the cord on that mission.
Abort. Wah!
That could just be me being
afraid to take it to the next level.
You know, I had this girlfriend once
who told me I had issues
about getting too close.
I stopped talking to her.
Have you told your girlfriend
about Robert?
- No.
- But you're going to?
Oh, yeah.
No.
Well, maybe.
No.
I really gotta go now.
This was fun.
I've never missed a day of work.
I work all the time.
Oh,yeah.
But, it's nice
just to hang out.
Thanks for the manicure.
Don't tell anybody.
Okay.
[ Exhales ]
Aren't you nervous?
How can you eat at a time like this?
I can't believe it.
Oy, is there lipstick
on my teeth?
No.
Liar.
[ Laughs ]
Let's go.
Chickapow!
Chickapow!
Where were you today?
Hmm?
You were supposed to
meet me.
I thought
we were gonna go shopping.
You know, Carla, maybe we should
watch our weight a little.
I mean, we practically need
olive oil to grease the zippers
on these costumes.
What? Don't go all L.A.
on me, Connie.
All these women come to our show
and idolize us...
because as men we have better
female self-esteem than they do.
Boy, you have some nerve.
Are you all right?
No! I was at that mall
all day by myself, Connie.
People stared at me.
I felt naked.
I can't hide out like this much longer.
I need to get out of this closet.
Well, you can't.
Let's go.

''What's with the big pause?''

''Always had 'em.''

Wait! Wait! Stop!
I have an announcement to make.
It's time you all knew.
[ Under Breath ]
Carla, don't.
I... am...
an eater!
That's right, ladies and gentlemen,
and soon we're gonna be

This is what America needs.
To eat and watch a show
where real women are real women.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Cotton absorbs.
Um.
Surprised they don't
market it like that.
Mm-hmm.
[ Spits ]
I-I'm looking for Robert.
His cell phone is off. Is he in there?
No, she's gone.
You missed our show.
Oh, I'm not ready to see that yet.
No offense about your job.
None taken. It's not like
I'm itching to come down
and watch you flip burgers.
[ Laughs ]
I'm a fınancial advisor.
Of course.
I can smell the stress on you.
I'm not as uptight
as you think I am.
Yes, you are.
[ Dance ]
Hey, bartender, I'm thirsty.
Hey, hey. Why are you--
Why are you different when you're
away from all the other drag queens?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, it's like there's
some kind of...
drag queen code of behavior
or something, you know?
It's like--
[ Imitating Drag Queen ]
Stripes?
Mary! Holy Martha Stewart's
prison collection.
I-I-I got three words for you, Miss Thing.
[ Snapping Fingers ]
No, no, no and--
Four words. Yesterday!
[ Laughs ]
It's ridiculous.
What is that?
What? What was that?
Oh, please, don't make me do it again.
I think I pulled something.
I mean, I wanna fıgure it out.
I really do.
I mean, are you--
What's the thrill?
Are you hiding?
Actually, I am hiding.
Yeah?
Some murderers are after me
and I'm hiding out as a drag queen.
Really. Really, I'm asking you really.
I'd like to know. I wanna fıgure
this whole thing out.
Is this the real you,
or are you playing dress up?
You understand?
Are you-- Are you playing dress up?
Or is this the real you?
I don't think you could handle
the real me.
You'd be all,
''Oh, I want my mommy.''
Uh-uh.
It's true.
Uh-uh.
So a real woman
doesn't scare you?
No. But, Connie,
you're not a real woman.
Oh, you'd be surprised, baby.
I know your type.
You like uptight girls.
That is not true.
That is so not true.
Really?
Yeah.
Am I your type?
Sure. Yeah.
You think I'm attractive?
Connie, I've never seen you
out of drag,
but-but, uh,
I have to say that as a broad,
you're-you're a real looker.
Ahh!
[ Chuckles ]
Can I get another one, please?
[ Choking ]
[ Tibor ]I have been to dinner theatersin Idaho, to cabarets in Kansas.I have watched every showin this whole country.
Connie and Carla have disappeared.
You're just mad
'cause Connie didn't call you.
Mikey, get it through that chunk-a-head
of yours, Connie and Carla--
[ Whistles ] they're gone.
Hey.
Sorry, Mr. Rudy. Whoa.
Who are you?
I'm Al.
I'm new.
What's your problem, Al?
Mikey. His girlfriend
took off on him and--
[ Exhales Sharply ]
th-that's all.
I love a good story.
- Where are Connie and Carla?
- We don't know.
But Mikey says he got
a hang-up call last night.
- Caller I.D. said area code 3 23.
- Los Angeles.
- Oh.
- What a story.
Listen, you guys
are useless to me here like this.
What I want you to do is
I want you to go out there,
and I want you
to fınd your girls.
Are you serious?
And when you do, call me.
[ Chuckling ]
[ Stops Chuckling ]
Why?
I gotta know how it ends.
[ Laughs ]
Uh, Mr. Rudy,
oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Follow that idiot.
Uh, I already saw you.
Hello? I--
Hey!
Wait!
Look, I'm not--
I know you're not.
That was just a big--
It was just a mistake,
what happened.
Yeah, a big mistake.
Can't we be friends?
No. No, we can't.
I don't have time for this.
This whole thing. Okay?
It's not normal.
Don't you think it's a little bit weird,Mr. Rudy giving us this cash to come out?
- He cares about me.
- Since when?
I'm not sure.
There's some things about Mr. Rudy
that might surprise you.
I heard some stuff.
What'd I do?
Would you fınd a map?
[ Honks Horn ]
Wanna ride?
You missed rehearsal this morning.
[ Groans ]
Carla, please.
I just got dumped.
What are you talking about?
How could I not know?
What, the straight guy?
Yeah. But he thinks I'm a guy,
so it's over before it even started.
[ Sighs ]
- Isn't thatJeff?.
- Oh, yeah. That's interesting.
[ Exasperated Sigh ]
It's Jeff?
[ Chokes ] Right in the throat.
Are you crazy?
You must be out of your mind!
Carla! Carla!
Your knee is in my coochie!
Get off!.
Are you sick?
Do you have some kind
of death wish?
Why would you take a chance
on exposing us?
He'll talk about it to Robert,
then she'll talk. People will talk.
Then those guys will fınd us
and kill us!
Your voice is giving me mono.
Nothing happened. Back off!.
[ Gasps ]
You yelled at me.
We're fıghting.
We never fıght.
What's happening to us?
We're having a nervous breakdown.
Yeah, maybe we're having
a delayed reaction
to the trauma of being shot at--
like those guys in Nam.
You can't say ''Nam,'' Carla.
You weren't in Nam.
You have to call it Vietnam!
- Shut up, Connie!
I can call it what I want!
- Oh, God! I kissed Jeff!.
I kissed Jeff, and I wanna
kiss him again without my wig!
You can't, Connie!
You can't! You did?
Just my luck. I meet the guy
of my dreams and he's straight!
Look at us! We're ridiculous, Carla.
I can't do this anymore.
Shut up, Connie.
We're in this because of you!
[ Gasps ]
It was your idea to borrow money
for new costumes, even though
you knew Frank was a gangster.
So because of you,
we saw him get killed.
And then we--yes, we--
got shot at.
Shot at with real guns.
And that white powder?
That was cocaine.
You got us mixed up with
some real criminals. Murderers.
And it was your stupid idea
to be drag queens.
Now we're in hiding for life
as women dressed as men
dressed as women.
So shut up,
shut up, shut up!
[ Exhales ]
I--
You've been weird.
Cut it out.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Girls, we need help.Open the door.
Peaches and Jeff are fıghting.
Let's go! Quick!
You won't even go inside.
You won't dare to look at the show.
I've asked you and I've asked you.You won't do it.
Robert, I've invested days
and energy in this relationship. I'm trying.
But, you gotta give me a break
It's hard for me to see you like this.
You can't pick and choose
the parts of me...
that don't make you sick
to your stomach.
You can't have half a relationshipwith me,Jeff.
Jeff.
Oh, my God.What are you--What are you doing here?- It's not what you think.
-Jeff, I can see that.
So this is what you've been up to?
No.
Sneaking around
when you said you were working?
- [ Quietly ]
That's his girlfriend.
- I thought you were seeing other women.
- No, Mary.
- Her name is Mary?
Jeff.
Introduce me to your girlfriend.
Mary, this is Robert.
My brother.
[ Quietly ]
Oh.
Okay. Um, we're gonna
give you guys some privacy.
Jeff, they're freaks.
God.
She's fıne. He's fıne.Everything's all right.Let's just leave her alone.
Maybe just a glass of water?
My heart's pounding. I thought
she was going to kill that girl.
One who should watch out
is thatJeff. I'm going to knock him
into next week. I swear to God.
[ Loud Sigh ]
[ Sighs ]
Ouch. You know?
Yeah.
[ Robert ]
Christ.
[ Blows Nose ]
Let's eat.
[ Laughter ]
And he wouldn't stop
asking me questions.
It was like I was
Professor Cross-dresser or something.
Like he says, ''Why are you called
drag queens? Nobody's being dragged.
You're not dragging anything.''
Well, that comes from Shakespeare.
Really?
Yeah. He'd write, ''So-and-so enters,''
and in the margin, he'd put the initials
D.R.A.G.
''So-and-so enters dressed as girl.''
Drag. Okay, Shakespeare.
How about Ophelia Up?
No.
Wanda DeCountryside?
It's not me.
Devoida Talent?
Stop it.
[ Brian ]Personally, I like Wanda DeCountryside.
What are you looking over here for?
That's your side.
Turn around, look over there.
[ Chattering ]
Come by later
if you wanna talk.
Oh, sweetie. I am all talked out.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- You okay?
- Yeah. I've got guy problems.
Oh, sweetie.
Come on.
Welcome to What's Up L.A.?
A dinner theater that's
full of drag queens? Holy stockings.
Gorgeous--
Connie and Carla, there you are.
If you could just
spare us fıve minutes.
[ Whimpering ]
A big hit here in West Hollywood.
Just tell us a little something.
Don't be so shy.You've made a big splash.
It's just a local station.
[ Panting ]
Our viewers are dying to know you.
Okay.
- What makes youthe best drag queens ever?
- Honey, we do our own singing.
[ Carla ]No lip-synching for us, toots.We do all your favorite show tuneswrapped in a delicious dinner.
That was a big mistake.
We have been flirting with disaster
ever since we went on that stage.
Carla. Connie.
[ Both Gasp ]
What are you doing here?
What the hell is going on?
How did you fınd us?
Carla, how come
you're a guy now?
Uh, Connie. I think
a lot of people just saw that.
Yeah, but it's local news.
There's no way that that Russian
or Rudy guy saw it.
Mr. Rudy.
Our boss.
[ Both Gasp ]
You work for Rudy?
He sent us to fınd you.
[ Both Gasp ]
What? What the hell?
You just tell Rudy that we wanna live.
We're not gonna tell anybody
that he killed poor Frank.
- Wait. He killed Frank?
- You should listen to
some of the guys once in a while.
- Al, we saw him kill poor Frank.
- To death.
- What happened?
- Rudy knows you're in L.A.
- We gotta get out of town.
- We can't. The offıcial dinner theater
opening is tomorrow night.
We can't let everybody down.They're depending on us.We can't do that to Stanley.
Why'd you cheat on me, Mikey?
I didn't, Carla. Ever.
Al just made that up
because he was mad at Connie.
Come on, Carla.Don't go be a guy.
You don't understand, Mikey.
I like doing the show. I'm good at it.
I like being Carla and Connie.
- Connie and Carla.
- Yeah. How come your name's
always fırst?
- It sounds better. We talked about it.
- This is serious!
- We know.

Hold on. I need time to think.
Your voice is giving me shingles.
We need time.
Connie's gonna make a plan.
I'm gonna make a plan.
She's gonna make a plan.
Fine. Call us at this motel. Room 209.
First thing in the morning.
You wanna stay over?
Yeah.

- Connie, did you miss me?
No.
Yeah, you did.
- Rudy. I fınd them.

I'm an ass.
I should've seen your show.
[ Scoffs ]
I should've told my girlfriend
about you. I should've loved you
and accepted you...
and been okay with the fact
that you wear dresses.
I'm sorry, Robert.
It's just that when you left home,
it was hard on me. I was 1 2 years old.
I wake up one morning
and you were just gone.
You didn't call me.
You never even wrote to me.
I got kicked out.
What? No.
Mom and Dad kicked me out.
They found my bra.
You thought I left?
Yeah.
[ Scoffs ]
Well, whatever happened,
Mom regrets it.
- She does?
- Oh, yeah. Dad too.
Ha.
[ Chuckles ]
No. They wanna see you.
Jeff, for the fırst time
in my life, I like who I am.
Forget it.
[ Stammers ]
I wanna be part of your life.
I'll say hi to Mom and Dad for you.
And Grandma too.
Okay.
Oh, uh, and Jeff,
uh,just a heads up.
My roommate, 'N' Cream,
is on a tear to kick your ass.
- 'N' Cream that--
Oh, the little-- the little--
- Yeah. The--

- Thanks for the warning.
- Go, go, go. Go.
[ Knocking ]

Yeah, I know.
I just came from up there.
Uh-huh.
About the other night,
I wanted to--
Yeah. Um, how's Mary?
Well, we talked about things
for hours. It's not good.
I mean, the relationship,
it's just-- We broke up.
Oh.
I wanted to apologize to you.
Um, you're not freaks.
You're not a freak.
I hated seeing you hurt.
Thanks,Jeff.

Carla. We're gonna die.
I am so sorry for
dragging you into this mess.
I love this mess.
Thank you for dragging me.
Pun intended.
Listen, who says they're gonna
fınd us in this big city anyway?
[ Low-pitched Voice ]
Would they be looking for
a couple of queens?
Here's my plan.
We launch the show.
We stay for one night.
The audience sees how great
the guys are and they come back,
and Stanley doesn't lose any money.
That's a good plan.
I know.
One night.
One last show. Okay?
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
So, I've been thinking.
We should have the guys enter
from the back of the house
on ''Good Morning Starshine.''
Oh, honey. If you're gonna enterfrom the house,
you've gotta do it on ''7 6 Trombones.''
[ Screams ]
Debbie Reynolds!
Debbie Reynolds! Hi, hi, hi!
Hello there. Hello there.
Somebody put a letter in my mailbox.
I saw your house on the Star Map.
You know, you've got
a pretty hot idea here.
A dinner theater.
Will you please be in our show?
Yeah, will you please
be in our show?
We open tonight, so there's not
a lot of time to rehearse.
Oh, honey, I've got sheet music
and gorgeous gowns
and a good underwire bra.

We love you, Stanley!
Thank you.

Connie and Carla.
[ Hoedown ]
- Oh, sit back, sweets.
- [ Carla ] It's just us.- Have we got a show for you.
- I hope you brought a change of panties,
'cause--
I'm just a girl who can't say no
I'm in a terrible fıx
I always say, ''Come on, let's go''
Just when I oughta say nix
When a person tries to kiss a girl
I know she oughta
give his face a smack
Smack.
[ Low Voice ]
Smack!
But as soon as someone kisses me
I somehow, sort of wanna
kiss him back
Back
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome
our very special guest,
Ms. Debbie Reynolds.
[ No Audible Dialogue ]
There are worse things I could do
Doo-wop
Then go with a boy or two
Two-wop
Even though the neighborhood
thinks I'm trashy
And no good
She's no good
I suppose it could be true
But there's worse things
I could do
Wop
Memory
[ Cat Meows ]
All alone in moonlight
I could smile at the old daysPolice. Drop the cat.
I was beautiful then
On your knees.
Hands in the air.
Kiss today good-bye
The sweetness and the sorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget
Can't regret
What I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
[ Ends ][ Intro ]
Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below
Oh, my God! I can't believe it!
What are we gonna do?
[ All Scream ]
You lead us along
[ Screams ]
As we sing
our early morning singing song
You coax the blues
right out of the horn, Mame
You charm the husk
right off of the corn, Mame
You've got the banjoes strummin'
And plunkin' out
a tune to beat the band
The whole plantation's humming
[ Both Gasp ]
You've got something that's mine.
You killed poor Frank.
- Let 'em go, Mr. Rudy.

Top of''corn.''
- What the hell was that all about?
- Um, the Guys and Dolls tribute?
Oh, save it, Mary.
What just happened?
Come on, Connie.
Let's tell 'em the truth.
No more lies.
I'm sure you're all wondering...
what the cops and--
First, we owed some money,
and then we saw something...
and we've been
hiding for a while,
pretending to be something
that we're not.
Hey, who saw Yentl?
So Barbra Streisand wants to study
the Talmud, right?
But, she can't because she's a woman,
so she pretends to be a man,
and, uh, one thing
leads to the next,
and before you know it--
Uh--
Everybody-- Everybody
believes that she's a man.
So she has to keep lying--
even though she wants to
stop, she can't,
'cause she has to
keep lying to people
that she cares about.
You know, that have
been really kind.
Look, uh,
we're women.
[ Nervous Laughter]
[ Scattered Laughter]
No, you don't get it.
We're women.
[ Murmuring ]
[ Loud Gasps ]
- Oh-ho-ho. Oh-ho-ho.
- [ Gagging ]
We're sorry we lied.
So sorry.
- [ Man ]Boo.
- [ All Booing ]
[ Man ]Get off the stage.
Let's go back to Chicago.
The patio door is shut
and our hair is caught in it.
I know.
[ Woman ]Excuse me.Excuse me. Hello.
Didn't you used to work
at the Slimming Salon?
Yes.
Mrs. Morse?
Well, I don't care what you are.
You always made me feel beautiful.
- [ Audience Murmuring ]
- But we thought you were men,
and you're not really men.
- Oh, honey, who is anymore?
- [ Laughter]
- I thought something was up.
- Me too.
- No, you didn't.
- Girls, in an art form based on...
being true to one's real self,
welcome to your outing.
-Jeff?
- Connie.
- Oh, great. More drama.
- You came to my show.
- I love show tunes.
- Hey, everybody,
this is my brotherJeff.
[ Audience ]
Hi,Jeff!.
Hi.
You look, uh--
You look different.
Jeff, I'm a woman.
[ Laughs ]
It's an authentic look. Yeah, but--
No. I mean I'm female.
We're girls.
We were faking it.
It's this long story--
Connie, please,
we've been over that.
Really.
Really?
Really?
[ Audience ]
Yes!
Well, I could get used to that.
Jeff is the guy?
Yeah.
- You're the guy.
- [ Chuckles ]
Get up here and kiss her, you fool.
[ Audience Whistling, Clapping ]
- Ooh. The fınale.
- [ Audience ]
What?
- The fınale.
- Oh!
There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
Carla's a big star now.
And I'm her boyfriend.
Nothing acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing that's wrong
with any man here
That can't be cured
by putting him near
A girlie, womanly, female, feminine
- [ Cries ]
- Dame
